Mindful nation UK. Report by the Mindfulness All-Party Parliamentary Group (MAPPG) (2015)
The Mindfulness All-Party Parliamentary Group decided to start an inquiry to examine whether mindfulness could be applied to policy challenges faced by the government. Since 2004 the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) have recommended Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) for the treatment of recurrent depression. The report proposes that Mindfulness is a potential mental health prevention strategy. The report examines four areas of public policy in which mindfulness could have an impact and examines the extant research and best practice in these areas - health, education, workplace and criminal justice. Subsequently key recommendations for each of these areas are made.
